Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To address the needs of the market in different areas, such as the aerospace and car manufacturing industries, it is very important and essential to be able to develop and also process various lightweight alloys and materials (e.g., Al alloys, Ti alloys, etc.). In this regard, powder metallurgy processes play a special role. The fabrication of powders using different metallurgical techniques is an area of considerable interest. Another area of interest is utilizing powder metallurgy, which could be considered a green technology, to manufacture the needed parts. These processes (e.g., press and sintering, cold isostatic pressing, hot isostatic pressing, etc.) have some advantages as compared to conventional techniques, making them attractive in the current market circumstances. The potential to make net-shape parts, reducing material loss, is one of these major advantages. The aim of this Special Issue is to advance our knowledge of the wide range of powder metallurgy routes and processes that could lead to the production of lightweight powders as well as engineering parts. The research studies for publication in this Special Issue can target different aspects of the topic, such as powder production, material development, part production, their processing routes, obtained microstructural characteristics, and chemical and mechanical properties.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
